(Abbreviated) & Local Mathematical Activities:

Mathematics Publications: Right now it's just a list. Someday I'll add downloadable versions.	What I teach at Skidmore, with links to course syllabi for current courses.	Dept. of Mathematics & Computer Science at Skidmore College.
Pi Mu Epsilon New York Alpha Theta chapter of the National Honorary Society in Mathematics. [This website is currently under revision.]	CRANTS Capital Region Algebra/Number Theory Seminar. Meets periodically at SUNY/Albany, Union College, Siena College & Skidmore College.	HRUMC Hudson River Undergraduate Mathematics Conference. Where undergraduates and faculty interact as colleagues for a day.
Skidmore College Honors Forum I am currently the Director of the Honors Forum, beginning in Fall, 2007	I was part of the Dialogue series at the new Tang Museum in Fall 2000.	CDMSC Captial District Mathematics Speakers Circuit. This speakers Circuit may not be currently active, but I have at least three talks on mathematics for undergraduates and am available to speak at seminars, colloquia and math club meetings.
Skidmore College Problem Group. We've had 6 of our solutions published so far. [This website is currently under revision.]	CTY Center for Talented Youth A program for gifted students run by the Johns Hopkins University. I sometimes teach math in their summer program which takes place on the Skidmore campus.	Mathematical Interests: Right now it's just a list. Someday I hope to make it interactive and/or include links to more information about each topic.
